5 Important & Clinically Proven Reasons You Should NOT Take Statin Drugs
===============================
Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. They work by blocking the enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) in your liver, that is responsible for making cholesterol.
Now, this is very important topic to me personally, because over 15+ years ago my parent’s were prescribed these toxic drugs and they had a ton of negative side-effects.
Unfortunately back then, we didn’t have all the data we have now. The pharmaceutical companies did a great job of hiding them.
Today I’m going to reveal the top 5, clinically proven reasons, why you should NOT take statin drugs and one of my favorite, natural alternatives that my own parents use.
Reason #1 - They DON’T Work!
Statin drugs DO lower your cholesterol levels, but don’t think they lower your risk of heart disease, heart attacks or strokes.
Based on the statistics of “Relative Risk Reduction (RRR)”, statins reduce the risk for only 1% of the population - that’s it!8
Reason #2 - Increase Your Risk Major Disease, Including Cancer!
Statins increase your risk for diabetes. And what’s interesting is that over 50% of people who have heart disease, have elevated glucose and blood sugar levels. So the irony is that the statin drugs will indirectly INCREASE your risk of heart disease by increasing your blood sugar levels.
Statins also cause neurodegenerative diseases, such as memory loss, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s.
Statins also cause musculoskeletal disorders, leading to muscle pain and weakness (myalgia), muscle cramps and other muscular problems.
Statins also cause cataracts, which is a clouding of your eye lens and is a main cause of low vision among the elderly.
Finally, statin drugs are known to cause cancer.
Reason #3 - Deplete Important Nutrients
Statin drugs deplete two very important nutrients in your body.
The first is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
CoQ10 is used for energy production by every cell in your body, and is therefore vital for good health, high energy levels, longevity, and general quality of life.
What’s important to know is that your heart is the most energy-demanding organ in your body.
By depleting CoQ10, your heart slowly becomes weaker and ages faster.
In addition to CoQ10, statin drug also reduce Vitamin K2.
This is important for you to know because Vitamin K2 protects your arteries from calcification. Without it, plaque levels worsen.
Reason #4 - Liver Problems & Toxicity
Of all the negative side-effects associated with statin drugs, the most common was “drug induced liver injury”… This accounts for a whopping 57% of all statin related “adverse drug reactions”, which included potentially severe and some cases, deadly consequences such as:
Death from acute liver failure
Liver transplantation
Jaundice
Liver problems are so bad with statin drugs that each year there are millions of people diagnosed “moderate to serious liver dysfunction”!
Remember, your liver detoxifies and cleanses your entire body. Poor liver function greatly accelerates aging!
Reason #5 - Natural Alternatives Exist
You don’t need to take statin drugs because natural alternatives already exist.
Nature already has the answers, NOT the pharmaceutical companies. I’m sure you already know this….
Drugs can be used SHORT-TERM, to quickly improve a health problem … TEMPORARILY. But positive, long-term benefits can only be seen and felt using natural means.
This way, you have a proven, simple and convenient solution for your high cholesterol, while being so much safer than statin drugs.

In 2003, I took lipitor for 6 weeks. My blood sugar was normal when I started the drug. At 6 weeks I returned to my doctor because of increasing upper abdominal pain. My liver enzymes were sky high as well as my blood sugar. I immediatly stopped lipitor against medical advice. Took months for my liver enzymes to come down and I have been diabetic ever since.
Thank you,finally a doctor who doesnt push Statins!
natural is best
I got off of statin drugs three years ago. My cardiologist was none to happy with me, and her nurse practitioner called and told me I was going to die if I didn't take them. I just told her that everybody dies and hung up.
funny story Randall :) ... glad you agree with what I've said in the video
I am an RN and my Dr.. has been urging me to take statins. I have lowered my cholesterol with diet and exercise. I would rather have the devil I know than the one I don't know. Thank you so much. Blessings
That's the best way Annie... Good for you!!
My Mom was put on Zocor back in 1994, and she acquired just about every known "side affect" of the drug. The doctor changed her prescription to Lipitor, and most of the side effects went away. However, her sugar levels began to rise. And she swore that it was the "statin drugs that CAUSED her to have diabetes." Because Diabetes did NOT run in her family. My Mom entered her Eternal Rest in Dec. 1997 at 85 years old due to liver and kidney problems.
My older sister, who entered her Eternal Rest almost 2 years, experienced the same results, and at one point, she was taking 16 different drugs, and some of them multiple times per day. She also died of liver and kidney failure!
About 3 years ago, my doctor prescribed Crestor (i.e. Rosuvastatin) for me, because my total cholesterol was a little over 200, my HDL was about 35, and my LDL was around 180. I began taking CoQ10 when I started on the statin, because I had heard about statins lowering the CoQ10 in our bodies. But I just now found out about the lowering of Vitamin K12.
The statins did bring my cholesterol down to within the "normal" range. However, it ALSO INCREASED MY GLUCOSE LEVELS. I asked my doctor "Why should I continue to take the statin drugs, since my cholesterol was now in normal range?" I was told that I should continue taking it to "Maintain" my lower cholesterol levels, because without it, my cholesterol would most likely go back up. So, now that my sugar has been running too high, rather than taking me OFF of the statin drugs, my doctor prescribes me ANOTHER DRUG called "Metformin" to control my sugar.
I am currently taking 12 different prescription DRUGS.
4 of them are for high Blood Pressure (Olmesartan, Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Carvedilol).
1 (Metformin) for "Diabetes."
1 (Rosuvastatin) for "Cholesterol."
1 (Dexilant) for "Acid Reflux" yet, I was not having ANY indigestion or heart burn.
1 (Testosterone Injection) for low testosterone.
4 more for COPD (Symbicort, Albuterol Syrup, Ventolin [Albuterol] Rescue Inhaler, and Albuterol Sulphate for the nebulizer).
It turns out that my Mom was 100% CORRECT! Statin DRUGS absolutely DO CAUSE Diabetes, as well as other Health Problems!
I have been telling my "doctor" for quite a while now, that I want to "GET OFF" of all of these drugs. Because I KNOW that "Long Term Use" is going to CAUSE my liver and kidney to begin failing! And as we all know... that leads to certain death!
I'm currently 64 years old, and I'm not afraid of dying! I have lived a good life, and I believe in JESUS, therefore, I am confident in my "Eternal" destination. However, I'm really not TRYING to "Speed Up The Process" so I will die sooner rather than later. I would like to STOP BUYING all of these DANGEROUS AND DEADLY DRUGS from these "LICENSED DRUG PUSHERS!"
thanks a lot for sharing that with us ZAch
My doctor has been pushing statins on me for years. I have refused them after the first batch caused pain and brain fog. They have me very frightened.
focus on lowering it naturally Linky

I lost 21 kg and my "bad" cholestrol count was higher than ever.
Easier said then done. I am also on Metformin for Type II Diabetes, a blood pressure medication and heart medication. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, high Cholesterol and high blood pressure at 63 years old. Before that I stayed away from Doctors and barely took a aspirin or Ibprophen for anything. I stopped taking the generic Simvastatin I was on but my primary Doctor made me go back on it. In January of 2018 my EKG didn’t look right. Prior to this I was never diagnosed with a heart problem. Well at that point I was sent to a Cardiologist the same day and they didn’t see a problem but said to be safe they wanted me to come in for 2 tests the following 2 weeks. The first test was a Echocardiogram that found nothing to be wrong. Had that same test at 63 years old and they saw nothing wrong then either. The next weeks test was a nuclear stress test that showed I had blockages. That afternoon they put me in the hospital and scheduled a angioplasty for the next day. 45 minutes or so on the table thinking they were done the cardiologist told me he was sorry he couldn’t help me that they were making arrangements to transport me to a different hospital for open heart surgery. It was done 3 or 4 days later and they transplanted veins from my left leg into my heart. I turned 67 years old while in the hospital February of 2018. Since then I have my good days and have my bad days. My legs are achy most days probably from the statins. There are days when walking up steps I barely make it. Other days some pain but I do it no problem. My vision is not as sharp as it was before my diabetes diagnosis 6 years before. My eyes seem to dry out faster maybe because of the Metformin and I wear contact lenses. Wearing glasses I don’t notice any problem with my vision. I am retired so when at home I don’t wear the contacts that much. I would like to get off all this medication. There are days when I forget to take my Statin pill which my Primary Doctor just changed to another generic called Atorvastatin and my Metformin. You know what I feel like my old self on those days. Hopefully my search on You Tube with questions will give me more answers to my problem so I can find out exactly what I need to do because I an not getting that info from either my Cardiologist or Primary Doctor. Thanks for this video.
thanks for sharing that ffas
Excellent, very informative!
thanks
Dr sam thank you for the share information
Your great god bless you
thanks for the comment Rodolfo
My doctor told me to cut down and only take them every other day. Not the holistic solution I was seeking.
Thank you very much sir for this precious information.
Years ago I was put on Livalo at 5mg per day ... slowly started feeling weaker and developing odd cardiac sensations briefly ... my doc mentioned I might consider adding CoQ10. I also needed to add Vit D supplements and was pushing pre-diabetic numbers. I remember feeling like my golf club was going to fly out of my hands, and one of my patients (pediatric PT) giggling and saying your muscles "are jumping" as I began developing systemic fasciculations (muscle twitching). As I researched all this, I began to taper the Livalo and ramped up healthier alternatives ... fiber, apples, oatmeal, blueberries, chia seeds, green tea --- as well as continuing frequent exercise. Now I am off the Livalo completely and feel mush better, stronger, and the fasciculations have minimized. I really appreciate honest and thoughtful medical debate on this hot topic Dr Robbins. Thanks for sharing your clinical views ...
very informative
Thanks sooo much much love to yeee 😘
Thanks doc
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU
The ks a lot Dr. Robbins I always had a doubt about the statin drug prescribed for me
great video very informative. I have explained this sort of stuff to my father inlaw but he would like to see sources on some level. In future it would be great if you could source some of the info, just so i can share it with people who think the pharmaceutical industry is there to help them, not profit from them and make them more dependant on medication haha
Hi Jack, in some descriptions, I include links to some of the research I mention in the videos... Will keep what you said in mind!
I take a supplement that helps reduce cholesterol. Improved my diet and excercise more. My lipid panel improved significantly. No statins for me.
good for you! keep up the great work!
Very grateful. Thanks heaps.
you're welcome Mark
A doctor thinking outside western medical dogma- thank god
thanks Nick! As I've previously said in some of my videos... I believe nature has all the solutions in one form or another.
Thank u for this 411 I was wondering why the heck I was experiencing these exact side effects. Since I starting using atorvastatin 3 years ago
Thank you, thank you! You solve my problem!!!!!!!!!
Happy to help Herbert

what to do to lower colesterol ldl and vldl, trigliceris?
I have a ton of videos on this subject, and you can start with this one Nabil: czcams.com/video/oqbEkvhjaQM/video.html
Atorvastain gave me liver cirrosis and stage 3 kidney disease. Thank heavens, a GP caught it, hopefully in time.
I hope you're ok Kevin! Thanks for your comment
Can statins cause a tightness around the ribs and under the bust line? My 80 year old Mum has been struggling with this for a couple of years now and the ‘usual’ test have come back normal. Many thanks
No, not there specifically, but it does tighten MUSCLES and thus, maybe that’s the reason it’s affecting her around the ribs.
Thank u so much
you're welcome Jessica
So I just purchased CholesLo and I’m eager to give it a try. I don’t understand the rationale for the “weekdays on, weekends off” instructions on the bottle. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.
I believe your body tends to adapt to everything and almost everything should be “cycled” for best results. Food, diet, calories, macro nutrients, workouts, etc. Some stuff like sleep, should be kept constant. When I was formulating and testing CholesLo with my parents and my private clients, I noticed taking off a few days out of every month, when using the general dose of 4 daily, seemed to give the best results. Plus, it saves you money. Of course, some people don’t like taking days off as it breaks their “pattern” and daily habits. So for them I just suggest taking 3-4 daily, every day. I hope this helps.
Hi Dr Sam, I am using Atorvastatin since last 2 years and this video from you made me horrified me and I am interested to use CholesLO, but i am not sure how to get it in Pakistan?
I back off the statins according to the regular blood work results only taking two tablets a week.
Good for you! I hope everything is going well
Great information
Glad you think so Irene!
That's funny and encouraging.
I have clinically diagnosed heart problems, and have been taking statins for over ten years - without any side effects....but without them I could be dead.....that’s a hell of a side effect if I didn’t take statins.
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Thank you Dr
You’re welcome 😊
This is true. GOD help us.
Be VERY careful of what is said here....If you have had a heart event....according to my cardiologist, you must take a statin drug for a certain length of time afterward, depending on the amount of LDL in the system to cut the risk of problems....it all depends on the personal situation. Obviously, if you are healthy with a high LDL count, you would want to lower it naturally, but in the case of people with heart troubles...do what your cardiologist says. Regarding increasing your A1C...yes, mine spiked somewhat for a brief period to 6.9 but with exercise, and my solid diet, my A1C went down to 6.5 after 9 months.

Amen...

Do Statins harm the skin? Can they cause eczema or skin flare ups?
Yes and yes. They’re inflammatory and cause stress on the liver, both causing skin issues. Horrible drugs!
both my husband and i had major side affects,im off them now. i quit. my husband has a heart attack,so harder to quit them,always a question mark,he has neuropathy in both his feet,cant feel them,also low testosterone, and now type 2 diabetes which has ben linked to statins.
those side effects made me create this video Klee
Red rice yeast, fish oil, calcium supplements. No refined sugars.
Is simvastatin one of these "Statins" you are talking about? If so, my wife has been taking it for several years.
Yes it is. It’s generic for Zocor. My mom actually took this drug many years ago. Lots of problems. That’s why I formulated Choleslo: ►drsam.co/yt/NoMoreStatin
I’ve had bypass. Prior to the bypass, my cholesterol (total 155), blood sugars, BP, and every other marker was normal.
Cardiologist suggests that I. UST take statins!! Now MOST of these markers that you mention are up... including most recently, PSA. I’ve NEVER had any of these issues prior to statins!! My question: After a bypass, should I take statins.. I feel like crap most if not ALL of the time!!!
I hate this!! Thank you for your channel!!
First, this is a good question and thank YOU for being honest and give me and our subscribers your feedback. THIS is why I do all of this - to help people. I’d do a detailed video about this for you. However, I also don’t want you to leave empty handed …
So, “legally”, I cannot tell you to not take any medications. “Please always speak to your doctor before you do anything in this world, blah, blah” =) … okay? …
With that said, IF this was ME or my dad, my OPINION is heck YEAH, get off. WHY would you get on a statin drug, WHEN your cholesterol levels were normal to begin with? Stupid ass doctor!!! Granted, I don’t know anything else, your lipid sizes and so forth, not the rest of your blood test, hormones, etc.
So I can’t give any additional advice, sorry… but, my video can hopefully give you more clarity and options when I release it. Make sure you’re subscribed so you’ll be notified.
Sir,do video how to overcome rheumatoid arthritis naturally.
I will see if there are more requests sudhakar
The neurological side-effects alone are why I refuse to take them.
good for you! What have you done however to balance your cholesterol levels?
Hi, Dr. Robbins. I’ve been taking Lipitor for over a year now. I read a lot of negative stuff about it. I wanted to quit taking it. Can I just stop taking it? Is it safe for me? I’m currently taking Coreg for my blood pressure. My doctor told me to take both.
Hmmm, liked this but does not show it!
agreed....
I have Genetic, high Cholesterol all my Life, so what to then??
You can still try to do everything in your power to lower it
I got off statins my test proved I don’t need them
I took them for about 3 weeks and they half killed me, doctor was livid when I refused to continue with them, he ranted armegeddon at me, he is a young whippersnapper, he may learn yet.
Thanks Doc👍
My pleasure!
What about clopidogeral.....????
How long does the statin take to leave your body, I've stopped taking it
It depends on the drug and dosage, since each one has a different half-life. However, typically they’ll be out of your body within a week or two. BUT, that doesn’t mean the negative effects are gone by then. These drugs are toxic and have long-lasting negative effects. So, it may take months to feel “normal” again. Make sure you take high dosages of CoQ10 and Vit. D3. As both are depleted with statins. And then consider taking a natural alternative such as drsam.co/yt/NoMoreStatin - this is what my own parents have been taking since 1999
So, why didn't you tell us what the alternatives are? Great info, but the alternatives would have been a who lot better. Not happy, Jan!
is the video called "Alternatives to statins"? I don't think so!
Really?
Wow, here it is middle of 2020 and I am just now seeing this video and after reading all the comments I am thinking maybe I should get off of my Crestor? It is a low dose but still. Now you got me thinking Dr. Sam.
you should definitely consider it! and try to reduce your choelsterol naturally! by eating well and exercising
SO what has hapened to your link? Did it get shut down?? Doesn't play
this link ►drsam.co/yt/NoMoreStatin works just fine
I am taking statins and feel tired so now I know why. Gonna stop taking statins.
you will still need to keep your cholesterol in check Don Det
When i took lipocomb causes blisters in my hands and feet

Some videos do have links to studies in the description area
Who am i to believe ? Im confused this makes me increase anxiety and depression.dr.sam robbins help pls
that's why I'm offering these videos... to help you!
What are satin drugs
statins... are pills used for lowering cholesterol Eva
I will never take them.
good!
Doctor of what kind
Endocrinology
And muscle wasting
What about the data from trials, FDA and people who have benefited from it...
Hehe… those clinical studies are all one-sided. Many of them are. Only a very SMALL percentage of people really need statins and that’s all due to a genetic issue. Healthy life-style is very important. IF you do everything natural and you still can’t get to healthy levels, then you can take a VERY SMALL dose of statins, much smaller than the recommended dose and you’ll get all the benefits with minimal side-effects. But, most doctors just like to slam you with the high dosage and walk away.
What is the natural alternative for statin? Why don't you explain?
Because it's not the title of the video. I have OTHER videos wher I talk about herbs, vitamins, foods and supplements
I've heard oatmeal is good
it is Danny
Unfortunately, this is the another countless sales pitch for "CholesLO".
actually no Alex... yes a promo is included but you can just use the information without getting Choleslo
